The Great and Powerful Trixie presents a slideshow about her life and rise to greatness and powerfulness.  In the spirit of good performance, Trixie has selected the tune of a certain Gilbert and Sullivan song to sing to.  Snips and Snails have been conned into the role of the chorus.

Lyrics:

When I was a Filly, I learned my horn
Could be used for magic as a unicorn
I strove to master my new skill
By completing tasks at my own family's iron mill
By completing tasks at her own family's iron mill
I completed tasks so skillfully that now I am the Great and Powerful Trixie
She completed tasks so skillfully that now she is the Great and Powerful Trixie

One day I trekked my daily route
When I was happened upon by a talent scout
He saw me turn iron to brass
And enrolled me in the princess's magic class
And enrolled she in the princess's magic class
I was enrolled so thoroughly that now I am the Great and Powerful Trixie
She was enrolled so thoroughly that now she the Great and Powerful Trixie

I knew at once that I would rule
When I graduated top of class from magic school
I was the best and that was stark
And I soon received my magic-doing cutie mark
And she soon received her magic doing cutie mark
My cutie mark appeared so speedily that now I am the Great and Powerful Trixie
Her cutie mark appeared so speedily that now she is the Great and Powerful Trixie


Of magic performance my knack so flowed
That I took my endowment on the open road
I traveled to towns and set up on the streets
And impressed all of the residents with magic feats
And impressed all of the residents with magic feats
I stunned the crowds so utterly that now I am the Great and Powerful Trixie
She stunned the crowds so utterly that now she is the Great and Powerful Trixie

I gained such fame when I was known
To have beat an Ursa Major all upon my own
I've suffered the occasional slight
But I always get back up and reassert my might
But she always gets back up and reasserts her might
For they can never
Take away from me
That I'll always be the Great and Powerful Trixie
For they can never take away from she that she'll always be the Great and Powerful Trixie

Now ponies all, of whatever you comprise
If you want crowds to praise your name unto the skies
If you're sick of harvesting and milling gneiss
Then remember at all times to heed my sound advice
Then remember at all times to heed her sound advice
You can try your best
But you're not me
So you'll never be the Great and Powerful Trixie
You can try your best, but you're not she, so you'll never be the Great and Powerful Trixie
